Password disclosure via plaintext JWT claim
Published Oct 29, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2024
Cleartext credential storage in AnythingLLM before 1.0.3 allows attackers holding a single-user bearer token to read its password. The single-user login handler places the submitted password directly in JWT claim p, and request validation compares the decoded value with AUTH_TOKEN. Exploitation requires prior access to a valid bearer token; decoding it discloses the instance password but does not itself alter data or interrupt service.
